Happy turkey day folks!

I built benches most of the way around my last deck to function as railings. Code only requires railings if the deck is 36" or higher.

Deck building is fun stuff. Digging holes for the posts is the worst part. Sounds like a good idea at your place. A little extra clean space before entering the house.

Check the date code on the other 2. Trailer tires hardly ever wear out, they age out.

Dad's a wood turner and I think he uses the System Three epoxy from Woodcraft. There's different versions for filling holes or voids versus a thin surface layer. I'd also recommend you ask at Woodcraft.

Is it live, or is it Memorex?

Welcome!

Or prairie dogging.

Also ask about item or category coverage limits for your homeowners. A minor gun/art/jewelry/instrument/tool collection will likely exceed the coverage limit for those and require a separate policy if you want them insured for full value. Make sure they explain "replacement value" coverage limits. For example... A 2000sqft house burns to the point where it's better to bulldoze it and start over. Building a modest house will cost $200/sqft so $400k. Does the policy cover clearing the site ($25k)? Is that cost included in the total number? If not, then you only have $375k left to replace your $400k house. What about the stuff inside (see above)?

If you're not found criminally liable, you can't be sued in civil court in TN.

It's just extra liability coverage above normal. Call your agent and ask what's covered and what's not. I got it mostly for/because of my kids. If something bad were to happen and i got sued, the $500k limit doesn't go very far. On that topic, the $1M coverage limit for a church security team seems very low, especially for an organization. A friend had a girl on the back of his motorcycle. The rear caliper broke, locked the wheel, and they went down. She got rashed pretty bad. She sued him for $2M.

You can also get a personal umbrella liability policy as an add-on to your homeowners, usually for a modest rate. It'll cover more than these gun specific policies.

It's quite interesting this year. Of the remaining undefeated teams, only Oregon has beaten a top 25 opponent, and only 1 at that. I think the "strength of schedule" factor needs a reset at about week 8 or 10. All the prior games need to be reevaluated at that point. It takes that long to really figure out who's good and who's just posing. It's easy to keep your team confident and healthy when you play a bunch of jr. college teams for 90% of your season.

Find the right DMV and you could get a plate for it.

Mix baking soda, peroxide, and dawn dish soap, and scrub. Took at least 2 rounds to get the stink off our dogs.

...with a big garage full of fast cars and motorcycles behind it.

Complained about a code violation in the county, and it didn't come to anything??!?! Clearly they aren't from around here.

Potentially a very ugly precedent, I hope he's got a good lawyer.
